I just purchased these Dover COloring Books for my mother and she loves them. The detail is out of this world and the variety of colors you can use are only limited by your inagination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I got my first dover coloring book about 30 years ago and have been hooked. I now have a collection of about 20. They are kind of hard to find in retail and when you do the selection is poor.

I find coloring to be very relaxing when you are stressed. I also cannot just watch tv I like to be doing crochet or cross stitching, coloring.

These books are very well done as far as the drawings are concerned. They can be very intricate. Some are made more for children but many would be hard for a child under say 10yrs old to do and feel good about.

They are best done with colored pencils as you can get really good at shading and make them really pretty.

I highly recommend this and many others. I do own this specific book.

This coloring book has highly detailed, architectural pictures for grown-ups who still love to color. And while children might possibly enjoy this type of coloring book, the finely detailed, intricate pictures would be more fully appreciated by older teens or adults.

I have anxiety disorder. These coloring books are so relaxing. When I get upset or stressed out about something, instead of freaking out, I just grab my coloring book, color pencils, and I forget all the stress. I loved coloring the houses and yards in this book. It was fun to dream about what color I would paint them if they were mine.

I greatly enjoyed coloring these exceptionally well rendered drawings.

All kinds of dwellings/houses are featured, including foregrounds of trees, etc., and occasionally tiny people are pictured dressed as they would be from that period. There were also comments made about each, which I found interesting and informative.

The pictures contain small details. Definitely not for a child. I would say this is a coloring book for adults.

Highly recommended.

Fun for information, education and coloring but some aspects were tiring; the number of similar home styles and limited numbers of colors to be used for lawns, shrubs, houses. The information about the style and architecture were an added bonus I wasn't expecting to learn.

great book source, easy to use and has most anything i need.thanks russ patrick
